What features does imessage need? Next iOS update.

I would like an expanded ability to see who you have as iMessage contacts. I would also really like the ability to open the messages application and be taken directly to the list of contacts instead of directly into reading the latest message each time.

I agree completely on the basic comment. It seems Apple has gone about innovation in a large number of mobile apps, but chose to leave a few unrefined. Messages, contacts, calendar, and email are all apps Apple has chosen not to innovate. I'm hoping with iOS 7 that they will focus more on those core phone apps.

iMessage needs a way to leave a group message. I hate when my friends add me to a group message I dont want to be a part of, and I get notifications all day because they are talking about something stupid.

It also needs a quick reply option, I shouldnt have to go into the messages app everytime just to reply.

I would also like to see a "Tap to message" widget in notification center, like they have with facebook and twitter.

Apple has to take notice of apps like Bitesms, that have some features the stock messages app don't.
